Past the Halfway Point
We spent Tuesday and Wednesday of this past week doing more pre-production. Some more work was done on the 6 songs we worked on last week, as well as two others: Die in Fall and Hambread (tentative titles).
This brings us past the halfway point with about 6 songs left to work on. These are: Maasinumb, An Author For the Authority, Breathing Cliche, Maybe a Purpose, The Silent Aquiescence of Millions and Bitmap (once again, some of these are tentative titles). We also have about 2 more albums worth of unfinished ideas and random parts so we may end up writing some more new songs along the way.
It was a short “session” this week but we still got a lot done… including setting up the tempos for each song and recording them to a click track. This is more for me (Dan/drums) to just get used to playing them with the click so that when we get into the studio I don’t even really have to think about it. (For anyone who doesn’t know, a click track is just like a metronome kind of thing that the drummer usually listens to in headphones while recording the drums. It just keeps you in the right tempo.)
Also, Jamie and Walter put together the beginnings of another new song… just acoustic guitar and vocals so far, but it sounds good already. And I know I mentioned getting some pictures up this week but that’s not happening just yet. There isn’t much to look at anyway. But we’ll definitely get some pictures up here soon.
We’ll be doing another 3-4 days next week.
